The meat "Christmas trees" require minced meat, milk, bread, onions, carrots, and a scattering of pine nuts. This main dish will appeal to guests with its unusual presentation. "Christmas trees" are small, neat and convenient to eat at the holiday table. In terms of serving this dish you can show great imagination.
Necessary ingredients: minced meat (beef + pork) - 400 g; onion - 1 pc; carrot - 1/2 pc; milk - 50 ml; white bread - 1 slice; pine nuts - to taste; dill - to taste; salt - to taste; spices - to taste; vegetable oil - for frying. How to cook the herringbone meat 1. Peel an onion, cut into cubes and fry in vegetable oil until transparent. Grate carrots. Add salt, spices, bread soaked in milk, fried onion and carrot to minced meat. Mix it all well. 2. To create the shape of "Christmas trees" you will need a plastic bottle. You need to cut its neck, grease it inside with vegetable oil and put stuffing in it, to give the cutlets a cone shape. Turn the neck of the bottle and carefully take out the cutlet. You get a "herringbone". 3. All around the perimeter of the cutlets stick pine nuts. They should be pushed in deeper, because they will be pushed out during baking. Put the cutlets in a preheated 190 degrees oven and bake for 40 minutes. 4. Decorate the finished cutlets with dill so that it resembles the branches of a fir tree. In general, you can show your imagination and in any way "dress up" the resulting "Christmas tree". Some hostesses make white sauces, which poured a dish with cutlets, some decorate the tops with almonds, and some cut stars of pepper for the tops. Even the usual potatoes and herring can be served unusually for the New Year's table. To do this, you need to prepare potato baskets and stuffing from herring, cottage cheese, red onions, cheese and pickles. This makes a savory holiday snack.
